" Hibernia Hughes to Andrew Miller 26 Feb 1833: "Sister Zilpah is here at this time. She sends her best love to you and Cousin Sarah and says she would be more than pleased to hear from you or Sarah either.

" Hibernia Hughes to Ebenezer Miller 20 Aug 1835: "Sister Zilpah has gone with her trifling husband again & they are now living in Vicksburg. I don't know, but don't expect he is doing anything unless drinking whiskey, and that he can do to perfection." Letter from Hibernia Hughes to Sarah Miller, September 1836: "Sister Zilpah is at Mother's now & I expect will stay there some time she came there about two weeks since in the belief that McGinty had gone to Texas, as he had left home three weeks before and told her he was going there. And yesterday morning he came to Brother Phil's and has been taking a Spree all this time not more than twenty miles from home. Brother Phil went to Mothers & asked Zilpah where she thought he was & she said in Texas, and was very much surprised when he told her he was at his house, but said she would not live with him any more unless he done better--She only has two children living her little Andrew died last summer & is better off unless he had a better father..."
